Choose Your Transport Wisely**:

For flights, aim to arrive at the airport at least 1.5-2 hours before departure. If taking the ferry, book in advance and arrive early for boarding.
If using public transport, check timetables thoroughly, as schedules may vary, especially on weekends.
Luggage Considerations**:
Check luggage allowances based on your chosen mode of transport. For flights, be mindful of weight limits. For trains and buses, keep your luggage manageable for easier boarding and transfers.
